{{Unmarked Spoilers}} '''THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T READ THE LIGHT NOVELS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.'''
 
== Occult Research Club ==
Line 70:
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: Achieves this {{spoiler|in his 2nd fight versus Cao Cao, who lost his eye after that.}}
* [[Breath Weapon]]: He learns how to breathe fire {{spoiler|[[Training from Hell|after training with Taninmin]]}}
* '''[[Buxom Is Better]]''': Issei '''loves''' tits. It helps that {{spoiler|Rias}}, his first girlfriend for real, is a busty redhead that's mouthwateringly hot. {{spoiler|Akeno}}, his second and the Number Two of his harem, is just as busty, {{spoiler|and EX reveals that his other choices paid off handsomely when it comes to large, sexy racks.}}
* [[Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest]]: Averted pretty damn hard. He'll still make lecherous passes even though {{spoiler|he finally is able to confess to Rias. Case in point: use Gift on the latter's breasts.}}
** It should be noted that the girls like it this way, and constantly encourage said advances.
* [[Chick Magnet]]: He's got (in order of who liked him first): Asia, Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Xenovia, Irina, Ravel, {{spoiler|Rossweiss, and Ophis}}. That's not counting the numerous amounts of admirers he has and that's not including ''[[Even the Guys Want Him|the guys who want him.]]'' According to Ddraig, dragons are [[Chick Magnet|Chick Magnets.]]
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: As much as he wants to make any moves, he just can't touch Rias because she's too good, and Asia because she's too pure.
** {{spoiler|As the novels go on, he does, particularly Rias who he manages to claim as his own through being a good guy. As the time goes on, he manages to nab Akeno, too, and many more beautiful women follow after her.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Cool Sword]]: Gains the Holy Sword Ascalon after Archangel Michael gives it to him [[It Was a Gift|as a gift.]]}}
* [[Combination Attack]]: Due to his [[Status Buff|Gift]] powers, he's able to amplify his ally's attacks and launch a more powerful version. To wit, he pulled off a [[Field of Blades]] with Kiba, amplified Power of Destruction with Rias, amplified Akeno's Holy Lightning and his personal favorite with Gasper: Time stopping plus Dress Break.
Line 116 ⟶ 118:
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: Lots of 'em in this series and he's always the youngest; the latest being {{spoiler|Ophis. And now Great Red is joining the fun.}}
* [[Ironic Echo]]: Him promising to Koneko that he'll never use Dress Break to his allies. For those who haven't read the light novels, {{spoiler|he uses it (by accident) towards Asia and Koneko in volume 3 because he was targeting Irina at that time, he uses it at Asia in volume 6 for his [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], and he uses it again towards Rossweiss in volume 9 because he needed to get past her. The one with Xenovia on volume 8 doesn't count because it was his clone running loose.}}
* [[It Runs in the Family]]: His father wanted a harem too, but had to settle for one wife.
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Pawns have the secondary ability of "Promotion" if they are deep in enemy territory [[Chess Motifs|(in chess a pawn is promoted when it hits the last row on the opposing side of the board.)]] Which allows him to promote himself to any piece except a King, gaining that piece's abilities.
* {{spoiler|[[The Juggernaut]]: Juggernaut Drive. [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Duh]]}}
Line 129 ⟶ 132:
* [[Me's a Crowd]]: Something Azazel experimented on him. [[300]] of him to be exact. And yes, the cover illustration for said short story is a [[Shout-Out]] to said movie.
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: After Kiryuu spreads the photo of Issei and Kiba singing a duet together, rumors of them [[Ho Yay|having a relationship]] spread like wildfire. Doesn't help that Kiba [[Ho Yay|sometimes even outright tells Issei that he'll protect him]]. Issei just thinks he's nuts.
* [[Mistress and Servant Boy]]: He's the servant and Rias is the mistress. {{spoiler|Subverted as the time goes on, as they get close enough to be on equal footing.}}
* [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous]]: He grows extra limbs, some of which are sword-like, {{spoiler|when in Juggernaut Drive.}}
* [[Multiform Balance]]: How [[Super Mode|Trianna]] works.
Line 137 ⟶ 140:
** [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Cardinal Crimson Queen basically combines all 3 modes strong points without any of their weakness.
** [[Mighty Glacier]]: Welsh Draconic Rook has heavy attack and defense but due to the extra armor in this mode speed is lowered.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: All the [[Training From Hell]] more than pays off for Issei in terms of his looks, as [[Heroic Build|all those muscles]] make his goal of scoring hot pussy way, ''way'' easier than before.
* [[Mundane Utility]]: How he acquired Dress Break in the first place was to peel vegetables at a distance.
* [[Naked on Revival]]
Line 182 ⟶ 186:
** With Raiser: {{spoiler|Beats him up at ''his own'' engagement party.}}
** With Souna: {{spoiler|Uses Bilingual on the entire Sitri team and had their plans found out.}}
** With Diodora: {{spoiler|Defeated ReynalleRaynare, thus getting Asia's affection.}}
* [[Spit Take]]: When his mom asks him when is she going to have a grandchild ever since {{spoiler|he finally calls Rias by her name.}}
* [[Status Buff]]: How ''Gift'' works.
Line 192 ⟶ 196:
* [[Tender Tears]]: Yes, perverts are able to regard girls as people with feelings-hopes-and-dreams rather than just objects.
* [[The Champion]]: For Rias; he'll do ''anything'' for Rias.
* [[The First Cut Is the Deepest]]: ReynalleRaynare's attempt on his life, he feels that even though he would like to pursue a relationship with any member of his unknown (to him) harem, he's scared that he would be rejected almost instantly.
* [[The Heart]]: The occult club sticks together mostly because of him. In fact if he ever decides to leave and form his own group both Asia and Xenovia would go with him.
* [[The Messiah]]: [[Irony|Even though he's a dragon-devil.]]
Line 198 ⟶ 202:
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Delivers this towards {{spoiler|Shalba Beelzebub the second time he [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomped him.]]}}
* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: Hasn't really killed anybody outside of Rating Games and even then, no one dies in Rating Games anyway. He might beat them to a bloody pulp though. {{spoiler|His first kill however is from Shalba the second time they fought.}}
* [[Time to Unlock More True Potential]]: Well, it is a shounen series after all. {{spoiler|His true potential, as revelealed by the ''EX'' spin-off light novel, is [[Marry Them All|marrying a harem consisting of Rias, Akeno, Asia, Xenovia, Irina, Rossweise, Ingvild, Le Fay, Kuroka, and Koneko]] and then siring at least one child with each.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Title Drop]]: Since Great Red used his powers to create Issei a body with the help of Ophis, he's now also known as the "Dragon of Dragons" or "D×D" who's still in high school; or in short, ''[[High School DxD]]''.}}
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: When he puts on his Balance Breaker for the first time in the anime.
Line 246 ⟶ 250:
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]
* [[Face Palm]]: Does this all the time.
* [[First Girl Wins]]: Of sorts; despite allowing Issei to amass a harem as he always dreamed of, Rias stipulates one condition - she has to be the prime wife. No questions asked.
* [[Foreign Fanservice]]: Although they look to have similar skin tone, after Issei's mother walks in on the pair naked in bed together she specifically tells his father he's in bed with a foreign girl. The dead-tree translation actually has her say, "It's an international incident!"
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Issei dearly wants her just for himself, and thankfully for him {{spoiler|Rias is more than happy to be his girlfriend and future wife.}}
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]
* [[Idiot Hair]]
* [[If It's You It's Okay]]: She's willing to be naked in front of her servants, especially towards Issei.
* [[Intimate Healing]]
* [[Made of Temptation]]: Successfully tempts Rossweisse to join the group as a teacher despite her age.
* [[Meganekko]]: Sometimes wears one even though she has good vision. It's implied she does this purely to make Issei rock hard.
* [[Magnetic Hero]]: She has gathered quite a lot of powerful and special people in her group even before meeting Issei.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Lias' Pawn is a [[wikipedia:Fairy chess piece#Notable examples|Fairy Chess Piece]] that can also move sideways. It was proposed as a way to 'shake up' the rules of chess, as Issei does for the Rating Game.
* [[Mistress and Servant Boy]]: She is the mistress and Issei is the servant.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: She is the official #1 hottest girl in Kuoh Academy. Needless to say Issei's romance with her grants him quite the prestigeous position.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
* [[No Nudity Taboo]]: While Issei was freaking out and his mother seemed stunned, her response when Issei's mother walked in on them naked in bed was a polite "good morning" without even trying to cover herself up.
* [[Onee-Sama]]: Referred to as one of the two onee-samas in Kuou Academy.
Line 268 ⟶ 273:
* {{spoiler|[[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: With Issei in Volume 11. To the point that they forget people are watching them.}}
* [[Squishy Wizard]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: She's 175cm (5'9'') and smoking hot, as Issei himself sees this.
 
=== Akeno Himejima [[Chess Motifs|"The Queen"]] ===
Line 274 ⟶ 279:
One of the devils in the service of Rias, she is also part of the Occult Research Club and acts as the main confidant of Rias.
 
{{spoiler|She's actually a half-human and a half-fallen angel who resents her father because other fallen angels killed her mother, so she enters in the service of Rias as revenge.}}
----
* [[Action Girl]]
Line 291 ⟶ 296:
* [[Hope Spot]]: Gave one towards the [[Me's a Crowd|Issei clones]] before decimating them with her magic.
* [[Miko]]
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Has by far the largest breast size in the cast (slightly outdoing Rias) and, while not showing off nearly as often as Rias she ''does'' get a fair share of spicy moments to herself.
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: A [[Miko]] who is also a fallen angel and a devil.
* [[Onee-Sama]]: Referred to as one of the two onee-samas in Kuou Academy.
Line 299 ⟶ 305:
* [[Skinship Grope]]: Gropes Rias at the swimming pool of the Gremory household.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Is usually smiling, however bring up her [[Dark and Troubled Past]] or just harm Issei and she'll go nuts on you.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Fits the trope slightly more than Rias by actually being dark-haired.
* [[The Mistress]]: What she wants to be for Issei.
* [[The Tease]]: Oh so ''much''.
Line 330 ⟶ 336:
 
=== Yuuto Kiba [[Chess Motifs|"The Knight"]] ===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' [[Kenji Nojima]] (Japanese) and Sean O'Connor (English)}}
[[File:Dxd 02 3517.jpg|thumb]]
 
The school prince of Kuou Academy and self-proclaimed best friend of Issei. He is also a part of the Occult Research Club in the service of Rias.
 
Line 340 ⟶ 346:
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: He realizes that if his legs are damaged, then he'll lose overall combat performance. {{spoiler|And it shows by Siegfried almost dominating against Kiba when the latter's legs were getting weak.}}
* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: Apologizes to his enemies whenever Issei breaks out a new perverted technique, much to the latter's frustration.
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: He is a [[Master Swordsman]] and eventually {{Spoiler|gets promoted to the Club's Vice-President by the end of Volume 20}}.
* [[The Atoner]]: For participating in the Holy Sword Project in which his friends were killed during the experiments.
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: In one Volume 13 short story, to Issei's horror, he realizes "Yumi" is his type of girl.
* [[Beauty Mark]]: He has one under his left eye.
* [[Badass]]
** {{spoiler|[[Handicapped Badass]]: Had one of his arms sliced off by Siegfried. He still kept on going, especially after Siegfried pushed his [[Berserk Button]].}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: {{spoiler|Back in the day, if you present to him a holy sword, watch as he goes batshit insane.}}
** {{spoiler|Mentioning in front of him that Issei's sacrifice to save Ophis was in vain is a one-way ticket to a beat down.}}
* [[Bishounen]]: He's the pretty boy of the group. Lampshaded by Issei himself, who nicknames him "Pretty Boy Prince".
* [[Bishounen]]
* [[Bond One-Liner]]: Delivers an epic one to Freed, after [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice|impaling the latter's head]] with his sword.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]]: To Issei's Red.
{{Quote|Kiba: "You can continue howling to the Grim Reaper in Hell."}}
* [[Broken Ace]]: Has lots of fangirls compared to the unpopular Issei, plus he is intelligent and quite powerful. Despite his cool appearance, it is shown in Volume 3 that Kiba has an obsession with revenge, which makes him hot-tempered and irrational.
* [[Broken Bird]]: Male example, in which he still feels the pain of being experimented upon back during his childhood, even well into adolescence.
* [[Broken Hero]]: He is a calm, confident and skillful Knight. His perpetual smile and collected demeanor hide the fact that he is the only survivor of the Church's Excalibur experiments, who were so brutal that left him traumatized and killed all his friends when he was a mere child and to top it off, he is an artificial human without sense of self-worth; he is so deeply loyal to Rias simply because he has nothing else to hold on, something that Rias knows but is unable to fix. He admits to it in the Kokabiel arc. Though it gets kinda fixed with Issei and Koneko's friendship (with a healthy dose of Rias's [[Tough Love]] to help).
* [[Cool Sword]]: ''Lots of them''. {{spoiler|Even more now after ''all'' of Siegfreed's swords answer to him.}}
* [[Covert Pervert]]
* [[Cutlass Between the Teeth]]: ''Triple wields'' demonic swords against Kokabiel. Must be taking lessons from [[One Piece|Zoro.]]
* [[Chick Magnet]]: He's popular with the girls at Kuoh Academy.
* [[Childhood Friends]]: With Tosca after he is reunited with her as one of the survivors of the Holy Sword project.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]
* [[Cynicism Catalyst]]: His participation in "The Holy Sword Project" caused him to become disillusioned with the Holy Swords in general.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: He was originally called Isaiah, and was taken in by the Church and was chosen to be a part of a project called "The Holy Sword Project" supervised by Valper Galilei which led to the deaths of all of his friends and other participants when Valper [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|decided to eliminate them]], resulting in the latter's hatred of the Holy Swords namely Excalibur. After successfully escaping the facility with the help of his friends, he finally succumbed to the poison he inhaled. Lying on the ground, he was then found by Rias.
* [[Defrosting Ice King]]: During his initial days as Rias's servant, Isaiah was distrustful of Rias and all those related to her. One day, when giving tribute to his deceased friends, he was confronted by a stray Devil and fought a hard battle until his master, Okita, came to rescue him. After this event, he finally opened up to Rias and took up the name Rias thought of specifically for him, "Yuuto Kiba".
* [[Deuteragonist]]: Half of the series's point of view is through his eyes whenever Issei is not available.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: And sometimes, triple wielding.
* [[Elemental Powers]]: His swords can do this.
Line 359 ⟶ 377:
*** Took this trope literally in Volume 12 when {{spoiler|he briefly wields Issei's Ascalon which is a holy sword, and Siegfried's Gram which is a demonic sword.}}
* [[Field of Blades]]
* [[First Person Snarker]]: Not as much as Issei, but he does have his moments whenever he narrates.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: By his own admission. And Issei points out later that Kiba's not blocking his attacks anymore whenever they spar.
* {{spoiler|[[I Owe You My Life]]: After Issei saves him. To the point that he'll die for Issei, although Issei just thinks it's creepy.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Me's a Crowd]]: His ''second'' Sacred Gear when it was known that a user only gets to use one Sacred Gear at most.}}
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Unlike Issei, Yuuto's body is very muscular and fit from the start, plus he wears a pretty tight speedo when swimming or at the beach.
* [[Nice Guy]]: Despite Issei's initial rudeness towards him he still is as polite and even encourges Issei more so then the rest of the Occult Club with the exception of Rias.
* [[Oh Crap]]: When Issei fired his Dragon shot on him when they were training.
* {{spoiler|[[Revenge]]: His entire reason for becoming a devil under Rias' service is to find and destroy all the holy swords.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Wham! Line]]: ''"That day, we lost Issei-kun."''}}
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]]: ToThe Blue to Issei's Red.
* [[School Idol]]: Known as the school prince of Kuoh Academy.
 
=== Koneko Tojo [[Chess Motifs|"The Rook"]]{{spoiler|/Shirone}} ===
Line 392 ⟶ 414:
** {{spoiler|"Tojo" means "Castle" -- i.e. the Rook chess piece.}}
* [[Mighty Glacier]]
* [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor]]: Once again, [[Ayana Taketatsu]] is [[K-On!|associated]] [[Mayoi Neko Overrun|with]] [[Ore ImoOreimo|cats.]]
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: Size inversely proportionate to her titanic strength.
* [[Soul Power]]: Senjustsu in a nutshell.
Line 459 ⟶ 481:
* [[Serious Business]]: Money is serious business for this woman.
* [[Valkyries]]
* [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]]: At least according to Issei's description of her.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Looks and acts like a mature person, but is only around the group's age.
 
Line 698 ⟶ 720:
 
=== Diodora Astaroth ===
[[File:Diodara meeting issei and asia.jpg|right|300px]]
 
One of the six young devils who are participating in the Rating Games. He actually first appeared as the devil who Asia healed back when she was still in the church.
{{spoiler|In truth, he wanted to have Asia as part of his harem but cannot seeing as she's still in the service of the church at that time. He was going to kill Reynalle however he didn't expect Issei to win against her. He is then killed by the descendant of the old Beelzebub.}}

----
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: While Diodora had blond hair in the original light novel series, his hair is dark green in the anime.
* [[Ambition Is Evil]]: His ambition is to kidnap and have Asia join his harem.
* [[Ars Goetia]]
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Despite not cracking until his Villainous Breakdown, his obvious pleasure at raping and torturing Asia is a sign that he has not got a right mind.
* [[Bait the Dog]]: When he first appears, he's an affable devil. Then it's revealed that he's a murderer and a rapist. After that, he tries to kidnap and rape Asia.
* [[Berserk Button]]: He despises the idea of someone that's much stronger than him.
* [[Big Bad]]: He is the main antagonist of Volume 6 until Shalba kills him.
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: He is memorable for being the first villain that Issei completely [[Curb Stomp Battle|overpowered]]. Unlike all the former villains who are all stronger then Issei.
* [[Bullying a Dragon]]: Diodora decides to underestimate Issei's powers as the Red Dragon Emperor when he attempts to rescue Asia. It doesn't work.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Was only mentioned as part of Asia's [[Backstory]] in the first volume before he makes his appearance.
* [[Classic Villain]]: He represents [[Lust]] and Pride.
* [[Complete Monster]]: One of the biggest ones in the series.
* [[Crisis of Faith]]: Diodora actually gets off on causing these in his marks; finding a devout, well-respected holy woman like a nun and slowly breaking their spirits until they ultimately give in to despair.
* [[Cuckold]]: Proposes to and attempts to kidnap and rape Asia, incurring the wrath of Issei.
* [[Death by Irony]]: He gets killed after being overpowered by the Issei, the same person who helped rescue Asia, whom Diodora tried to pull a rescue attempt by killing Raynare before Issei stepped in.
* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]]: He mocks Issei about his [[Blue Blood nature. Granted, Diodora truly didn't realize that he was mocking someone almost three times stronger than him, but it still counts.
* [[Dirty Coward]]: When the club tries to rescue Asia, he threatens to use her as a Human Shield, before teleporting away snickering.
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: He's presented as one of the final main villains of the second story saga, but it's not until the finale of volume 6 that the true final boss turns out to be Shalba Beelzebub.
* [[Engineered Heroics]]: He planned for Asia to get excommunicated by the church and also waited for Raynare to kill her, only for him to kill the fallen angel and revive Asia, thus appearing to be her "savior." The last part of his plan fails when Raynare is defeated by Issei and Asia is revived by Rias.
* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: Diodora's arrogance and relentless self-centeredness blind him to the idea that Issei will defeat him and cause his plan to kidnap and ultimately rape Asia to fail.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Issei. Just like him, Diodora wanted to form a harem. However, unlike him, Diodora was willing to do anything to accomplish his goals, including outright murder.
* [[Evil Gloating]]: When the group confront him, he continuously taunts Issei about having kidnapped Asia, eventually [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|crossing one too many lines]] and causing Issei to reach his [[Rage Breaking Point]] by threatening to rape Asia.
* [[Evil Plan]]: He had planned to make Asia a part of his harem from the very beginning.
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: As part of his smug, polite facade. He opens them when he gets aggravated, like when Issei tries to pull him away from Asia.
* [[Fatal Flaw]]: Diodora's pride and lust. He can't control his urges to rape and murder nuns, and couldn't stand being underestimated by Issei, and that's precisely how he lost in volume 6.
* [[For the Evulz]]: He’s pretty much a scumbag for the sake of being a scumbag. He even drags the rest of the Occult Research Club into his business with Asia just to have more victims. This kills him in the end when he gets curb-stomped by an enraged Issei and is dispatched by Shalba as a result.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: He may have been calm and polite in the Young Devils' Gathering, but it was only because he had to do it to cover his true motives, not to mention that he was clearly shown to drop his polite demeanor whenever not in their presence.
* {{spoiler|[[Netorare]]: Tells Issei that he'll steal Asia. [[Curb Stomp Battle|Three guesses how that ended.]]}}
* [[The Plan]]: {{spoiler|Everything thing he did is for Asia to join him.}}
Line 848 ⟶ 893:
* [[Minor Injury Overreaction]]: He gets punched in the face by Issei and from there proceeds to lose all sanity.
* [[Perpetual Smiler]]: Perpetual Smiler: Pretty much always has a twisted grin plastered on his face.
* [[Recurring Boss]]: He attacks the Occult Research Club multiple times over the course of the story: In the first volume, when Issei visits a client who Freed had just killed, and again outside the abandoned church where he fights them to protect Raynare; In the third volume, when he battles Kiba and Xenovia for Kokabiel wielding the Excaliburs; and finally in the sixth volume, during the Rating Game against Diodora, having devoured two of Diodora's knights and become a chimera. Here, he is killed by Kiba.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: He has red eyes and is a villain.
* [[Run or Die]]: After Raynare is defeated, Freed is forced to abandon the fight.
Line 1,311 ⟶ 1,356:
* [[Mega Twintails]]
